Brands that WOW a nation and live forever


The beauty of some brands is their power to bring back happy memories, “nostalgic brands”…They start with you when you are a kid at school, then you discover them again when you are at university and then in your work envirnoment. They grow with you and you tend to see them adapt to your new requirements every time. Yes many try to copy the product, but they struggle to copy the concept and what the brand itself means to the consumer.


Those same nostalgia brands become even more powerful when they are actually national brands, they bring in together with their nostalgia this intense feeling and attachment to your country…and when your country has witnessed years of war and diaspora this feeling of attachment gets even stronger and makes those national nostalgia brands WOW brands forever.
